Report will be given on state Y.G.A. summer camp and pic nic and the social hour will include swimming and a melon feed. By Clara Mary Davis leaves no time to play marbles Miss Whitney Home From University Of California TEEPING UP VTITH the Xv. world, fellow citizens of that particular planet, is no longer child's play. A nation naps and look what happens. A business snoozes for just one second. Bingo! it wakes up a creaking, white-bearded Rip Van Winkle. This is the job of manage ment: to match stride for stride with the speeding times. Be cause an oil industry, then geared to the oil-lamp, once survived the wrench of a world shifting from horse-and-buggy to automobile, you might think the crisis was past. Yet each day brings new problems. Until recently the most eco nomical way to move petro leum products from refinery to widespread retail outlets was to dot the countryside with dis tributing plants. This method is even now becoming out moded and expensive requir ing management to replace it gradually or face a jolting, un avoidable shift later on. Here management must keep up with a world that demands lons-ranee trucks operating on improved highways. It's a world that won't wait. It's a world that won't do any of the man agement's worrying about the protection of employees, stock holders, and customers alike. Nor will it relax its rule that gasoline must be both cheap and the easiest thing in the world to buy. Standard Oil Company of California Miss Maguin To Leave Soon For Portland To Live Miss Valeria Whitney, who makes her home at the Royal crest Orchard, returned Satur day from Berkeley, Cal.. where she has been attending the Uni versity of California.

IN PLAY SERIES WINS APPLAUSE A humorous and complicated plot, fast moving narration and skillful handling of characteriz ation combined to please those witnessing William Shake speare's "Comedy of Errors" in Ashland's outdoor civic Eliza bethan theater last night. The performance will be repeated Friday night, Auguts 16. As a motive for the recently adapted "Eoys from Syracuse," the original version was full of complications centering around mistaken identities of four char acters. Richard Farmer and Richard Schuchard handled the characters of Antipholus of Sy racuse and Antipholus of Ephe sus with tmonthness and deft ness. James Baughman, as Dro mlo of Syracuse, the "good man Friday" to the Syracusian char acter, took too honors in handl ing a dual role. Excellent performances were turned in by Harry Moses, as Solinus; D e 1 m a r Solem, as Pinch: Douglas Hubbard as An. gelo; Burk Yadon, as Balthazer; Joe Beach as the Merchant, and Eldridge Gray as Dromio of Ephesus. In the feminine roles. La Murle Beck was outstanding as Adriana, the harassed wife; Har riet Uecker took equal bows as Luciana. Smooth character izations were given by Ninon New York. Aug. 13.
